Rosetta Code is a programming chrestomathy site. The idea is to present solutions to the same task in as many different languages as possible, to demonstrate how languages are similar and different, and to aid a person with a grounding in one approach to a problem in learning another.

Since the R coverage of the different tasks is still largely incomplete, I encourage everyone to populate the missing tasks with appropriate R code.

This tip came handy to me when I had to compress into separate .cbz files (zip files with an other extension) a vast collection of folders containing scans for different numbers of a comic book series (to create .cbz files instead of zip files, just substitute .cbz to .zip in the following code).
